Revision 0fe9a448a029a11d7211fcc2ebe9023d7fd31792 authored by Vlastimil Babka on 14 October 2019, 21:11:44 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 14 October 2019, 22:04:00 UTC
Commit 8974558f49a6 ("mm, page_owner, debug_pagealloc: save and dump freeing stack trace") enhanced page_owner to also store freeing stack trace, when debug_pagealloc is also enabled. KASAN would also like to do this [1] to improve error reports to debug e.g. UAF issues. Kirill has suggested that the freeing stack trace saving should be also possible to be enabled separately from KASAN or debug_pagealloc, i.e. with an extra boot option. Qian argued that we have enough options already, and avoiding the extra overhead is not worth the complications in the case of a debugging option. Kirill noted that the extra stack handle in struct page_owner requires 0.1% of memory. This patch therefore enables free stack saving whenever page_owner is enabled, regardless of whether debug_pagealloc or KASAN is also enabled. KASAN kernels booted with page_owner=on will thus benefit from the improved error reports.
